Introduction

RILEM TC 246-TDC (Test methods to determine durability of concrete under combined environmental actions and mechanical load) is a technical committee within RILEM community, founded in Hong Kong on September, 2011. As of Febuary 2016, it has 41 members from Australia, Belgium, Canada, China, Finland, France, Germany, India, Japan, Poland, Portugal, Spain, South Africa, The Netherlands and the United States.

According to the working plan, RILEM TC 246-TDC has the following three main missions: (1) to compile an annotated bibliography; (2) to develop a suitable test method to study the durability under combined actions; (3) to verify the applicability of the new test method for characterizing the durability of concrete under combined actions. Toward the end of the activity of TC, a recommendation on the most promising test method shall be estabilished.
